Do you mind running vcs export in your source directory and pasting it here?

[CanBayraktaroglu]

Of course! Thank you for the quick response. Here is the output of the command

what's your cmake version? I had similar issue with cmake 3.24.1, and my solution was drop back cmake version to 3.23.2.

[CanBayraktaroglu]

when i run the cmake --version command i get 3.24.2, but when i run apt policy cmake i get the following:

cmake:
  Installed: 3.22.1-1ubuntu1.22.04.1
  Candidate: 3.22.1-1ubuntu1.22.04.1
  Version table:
 *** 3.22.1-1ubuntu1.22.04.1 500
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     3.22.1-1ubuntu1 500
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages

which version are you asking for and how do i downgrade the one affecting the moveit2 build?

[tylerjw]

I'm not sure how you downgrade as it seems 3.22.1 is the one you have installed via apt. Maybe you installed it manually somehow?

When I run cmake --version on my machine (ubuntu 22) I see this response:

cmake version 3.22.1

CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake)

Running which cmake might help you figure out where your newer version of cmake is and that might help you understand how to remove the newer version.

[CanBayraktaroglu]

Allright, I managed to install cmake 3.23.2 separately and changed the paths for cmake to point to it. Moveit2 including the tutorials built succesfully. Yet for future developers, I request you to add some clear and detailed instruction to the moveit2 source build page regarding the specific cmake version necessary for build. Closing the issue.

Thank you for following up this fixed your issue.
